Wiebetech RTX 400-QR

Easy to use and versatile big storage.

image

If you’re like me, you have a lot of external hard drives on your desk. Some are there to back up others. And it’s a messy tangle of wires and cables, between the power cords and their various transformer parts (often wall-warts that have to use a Power Squid or similar because they’re too big for UPS power strips). Sure, they’re cheap. And you keep buying more and bigger drives. Some of us replace the drives inside the cases with larger drives as we need to, saving a precious buck or two. But it gets confusing. Which file is where, and just how many duplicates do we have of what, where?

I almost lost my head. Literally!

The video shows how I ducked just in time!

I’ve been hit a few times while shooting extreme sports. Some have knocked me on my butt, some have ruined cameras. I used to joke that my middle name is “Impact Damage” (term from Nikon repair) and the truth is that I’ve broken more cameras than most photographers will ever own. This particular story is no exception.

Wedging my head between a rock and a hard place

That hard place was another rock!

Getting the shot you want isn’t always easy. I’m working on a few war stories to illustrate that, including this one. I wanted to create an unusual image for a client highlighting their product. I had one of their sponsored, professional riders at my disposal. But not just any rider, this guy is the world champion downhill mountain bike racer.

LEICA D-LUX 4 ‘Safari’

New special edition features olive green finish

Leica Camera AG, Solms, presents a new special edition in the D-Lux 4 series: the LEICA D-LUX 4 ‘Safari.’ Following the introduction of the Leica M8.2 ‘Safari’ at the beginning of this year, the LEICA D-LUX 4 ‘Safari’ is the first compact Leica camera with the same olive green outdoor look. This special limited edition will be available in August 2009.

A durable, waterproof carrying case is included with the camera to complete the set. It offers ample room for the camera and optional accessories for the D-LUX 4 collection such as a handgrip, optical viewfinder or flash. Additionally, the back of the case has a compartment containing a nylon “rain cape” that can be pulled out to cover the whole case and protect it from the elements.

The body of the LEICA D-LUX 4 ‘Safari’ features an anodised olive green surface finish which is particularly resistant to wear and guarantees long-term protection against inadvertent damage. Like all models in the LEICA D-LUX 4 series, the LEICA D-LUX 4 ‘Safari’ has a tough metal body manufactured exclusively from the finest materials.

Similar to the D-LUX 4, the ‘Safari’ edition’s technical features offer versatile options for any number of different photographic situations. With its high-performance lens, lightning-fast image processing, well thought-out controls and optional accessories, the D-LUX 4 ‘Safari’ is a genuine compact system camera.
